Industrial agglomeration, industry-academia collaboration, urban systems, tourist flow analysis

Industrial agglomeration and innovation:　We consider economic disparities and opportunity disparities between regions as issues, and conduct research on comparisons between cities. In particular, we are studying the spatial characteristics of innovation systems by focusing on regional disparities in R&D functions that stand out in today's knowledge economy society.
Data Platform Development:　We are also working on data platform development (DATASALAD, outing watcher) to expand the utilization of regional economic data and promote tourism.
